The Ceiling Can’t Hold Us

There has been so much talk about the financial Armageddon that was going to occur if our leaders in Washington didn’t bump up the debt ceiling. I have been asked by many to write about this and have avoided it because I knew, at the end of the day, there was really no choice but for them to get their heads together and raise it. I don’t want to make light of the financial dominos that could have fallen if our elected couldn’t come to an agreement. It absolutely could have begun a financial collapse in many ways.

What I always came back to, however, was the fact that so many Americans’ paychecks depended upon an increase in the debt ceiling. And there was no way either party wanted the fallout from this occurring with the 2024 election looming in the near future.

However it happened, it was definitely the right ending for the overexaggerated situation. The national media got a lot of mileage out of it creating division through fear-mongering.

So, before I get to what I would have liked to have seen happen after President Biden signed off on the plan, here are a couple of facts that are hard to even get your mind around. The United States’ current national debt is estimated at

$31,465,933,144,544, and that’s trillion dollars. That equates to nearly $95,000 for every individual living in our Nation.

What the bipartisan agreement did was raise the debt ceiling north of $31,400,000,000,000 trizillion dollars, and yes, I made that word up. This is for the next two years, and there are a lot of variables to figure out the hard cap.

Folks, I’m no financial wizard and don’t know all the ad-ons in that bipartisan agreement, but I can tell you there’s no way they will ever pay down any of the debt claimed by those involved. There is no way those elected by the American people should ever let an issue like this get to the eleventh hour.

That gets me to what I would have really liked to have seen happen when President Biden put his John Hancock on this socalled historical document. You know I like musical references; remember 2013’s top song by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, “Can’t Hold Us?” If you don’t, Google it and give it a listen. After the I’s were dotted and the T’s were crossed, a bipartisan patting yourself on the back celebration breaks out. Just picture it, confetti flying, balloons falling, and Macklemore performing that hit song at the celebration. Doom and gloom Secretary of Treasury Janet Yellen, whose personality reminds

me of Hetty from NCIS throwing her hands up as she dances, saying, “Give me more money, my pretties.” Of course, the President is there dancing right alongside her. Fortunately, he’s a better dancer than a bike rider. But the Secret Service is right alongside him in case he misses a dance step.

Bipartisanship is on full display as Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy cuts the rug with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. And we can’t forget about Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell partying it up as they both talk to each other about their accomplishments. Neither one can really hear each other with the music playing loudly, but that doesn’t stop them.

Back to the music, every time Macklemore hits the verse “so we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us,” our bipartisan leadership all throw their hands up in the air and into a pushing motion like they’re raising the ceiling. This is while they all sing along.

I hope you can envision this in your mind and are laughing along with me as you’re reading this. As I often say, laughter is the best medicine. I almost forgot Nancy Pelosi is also in attendance, and, along with Mitt Romney, both want to

launch an investigation into who spiked the punch bowl. Just for the public record, there has been no sighting of Dianne Feinstein.

I’m sure you could come up with your own cast of political characters in attendance to save our Country from defaulting on its financial obligations. I left VP Kamala Harris just for you.

The words, the US defaulting from anything, make me sick to my stomach. Can you imagine how countries around the world view this?

I will wrap this up with some seriousness and positivity. A tip of my Webb Weekly cap with the American Flag on the side to all that got this compromise done. It is definitely at this time in the best interest of our Nation and so many American families that could have been affected financially. It is a paycheck-to-paycheck world, and those that voted against raising the debt ceiling may have made a political statement but didn’t have to look all the hardworking Americans in the eye that could have gone without a paycheck. There are too many major problems and threats for our federal government to focus time on any issue just because it’s the Republicans versus Democrats and partisan politics. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of compromise for what’s best for the American people and our Country. In recent years compromise has become a four-letter word in Washington. God Bless America.

Iam notorious for the Uncompleted Bucket List. It’s a terrible habit. I have all these big ideas and plans, and then — poof! — my timeline has passed, and I’m lucky if I have completed one or two items. That being said, does that keep me from making said lists and still being content with only getting a couple of things done? You betchya!

So, what’s on my Summer 2023 Bucket List? Let’s discuss…

Since I just returned from a trip to Vermont, and that always makes me think I could be the next great trail runner (despite the fact that I have less than zero interest in training to do such a thing), I think some leisurely hikes are on the agenda this summer. Rickett’s Glen is always a great choice, you can’t go wrong at Rider Park, and I’ve still yet to make it out to Jacoby Falls. So those will all be on the list.

I would also like to (finally) get a roof rack for my car so that we can take the kayaks out more this sum-

mer. Rose Valley is beautiful, and I hear there are a lot of amazing places to kayak in the area!

Being a baseball fan, of course, a couple of Crosscutters games are on the agenda, and I’ll be posted up in a photo well for a good chunk of the Little League World Series.

I don’t see a full-blown vacation this summer, but we’ll for sure find some time to get out and about on a more local level. I haven’t been to Penn’s Cave in a while, so I think I am due for a trip there. I’ve also never been to Lake Tobias and have always wanted to check that out.

On the more adventurous side, you’ll absolutely find us at Knoebel’s (probably more than once). I also want to go to Hershey Park and check out the new Wildcat’s Revenge rollercoaster, and I still haven’t had a chance to try out Candymonium yet,

either! They have what looks to be a great waterpark there too!

Speaking of waterparks, we had a fantastic time at Camelbeach last year, and I just got a 25% off promo code this week, so I’m hoping we can squeeze in a return trip there too!

One of my favorite things is finding new places to eat, drink and be merry! If I can find a place to do those things outside while enjoying the sunshine — even better! So if you have any really great restaurants/ breweries/distilleries, etc., suggestions (bonus for outside seating, a super bonus if I can bring my dog), please let me know!

So, what’s on your Summer Bucket List? What are your ‘must-do’ things for Summer 2023? Vacations? Staycations? Must-see places to go? I’m always up for suggestions, so feel free to send them my way!

Summer is officially here, so go out and enjoy! But, as always, please do so safely. No amount of fun is worth the cost of life, limb, or family! Plus, hardly anyone looks good in a canvas jumpsuit!

Area Athletes Break Records, Win Gold

By Dave Bellomo

It was a good year to be a Bulldog, especially for the Bellomo brothers. Between the two Jersey Shore Area High School seniors/fraternal twins, four school records were broken, a state championship won, and many personal records were set.

Nick Bellomo, along with teammates Peyton Whitman, Elijah Jordan, and Brodie Herr, set the school record for the 4x100-meter relay. A record formerly held by Nick’s uncle, Jacob Leone, and his teammates. Nick Bellomo was also on the relay team, along with Nathan Horn, Raidan Francis, and Peyton Welshans, that set the JSASD school record for the 4x400 meter relay.

Not to be outdone, his brother, Peter, one of the top overall throwers in the district, won the District 4 finals in the javelin by a whopping 19 feet with a throw of 193’10”. At that time, Peter Bellomo was ranked 4th in the country with a throw of 208’2” that

he did at the PHAC meet prior to the district championship. That throw also happened to be a school record in the New Javelin.

For those that didn’t know, javelin records are broken up between New and Old. In the mid-1980s, javelin throws were nearing 300 feet at elite levels. Literally putting stadium crowds at risk for injury. So, in 1986 the men’s javelin was redesigned so that the center of gravity was moved forward by 4 centimeters. This may not sound like much, but it effectively made the nose of the javelin dip, thereby shortening throws by approximately 10 percent and saving lives. Typically, records set with the old-javelin design are longer and stand the test of time. Going into the PIAA Class AAA state meet, however, Bellomo had other ideas.

“I feel good,” Peter said. “I want to throw 214.” And that is just what he did. Two throws later, Bellomo hit 214’3”, setting another school record, beating both old and new and winning him state gold. It also should be

noted that he beat out the #1 ranked javelin thrower in the country to win that medal! Also worthy of mention is the fact that Jersey Shore had not had a champion in track and field since 1971 when Joe Ferrer won in the javelin. A record now held by Bellomo.

“This season, we had a lot of great athletes, especially on the boys’ team. A lot of them were seniors. The Bellomo twins were the #1- and #2-point scorers of the team. In fact, at a lot of the bigger invitationals, they were responsible for 2/3 of the team points. It just goes to show you that their great work ethic paid off. With them getting up early before school to lift and working hard. It was evident in their athleticism and success,” said Bob Fox, head JSASD track and field coach. The two brothers certainly did work hard. So much so that their weight room lifts more closely resembled those of Division 1 football players. Their 5 a.m. sessions enabled Peter Bellomo to squat in the mid-500s and bench press in the high 300s at a bodyweight of 200 pounds. Nick, at 170 pounds, was a phenom

with a bench press in the 300s and still was able to run fast sprints and middle distance, 110-meter hurdles, long jump, and pole vault. All things that would normally be specialized events, Nick Bellomo can do in a single meet and do well. A college coach once commented on Nick Bellomo’s exceptional kinesthetic awareness, his ability to know where his body is in space. “Sure, Pete is great, but I’m excited about Nick because any kid that can do all that and still teach himself to get upside down will go far.”

The brothers followed in the foot-

steps of their three older sisters, Olivia, Victoria, and Gabrielle, all of whom were throwers for Jersey Shore. Victoria achieved the title of Land Meister in her junior year of high school while on a student exchange in Perna, Germany. As a member of a club team, Victoria was ranked 3rd in discus in all of Saxony at the time. Gabrielle is currently throwing shot, disc, and hammer for Misericordia University. Nick and Peter plan on attending Lock Haven University and will be members of the LHU Track and Field Team. Nick plans on majoring in Psychology, and Peter will study Physical Education. ***

Montoursville was also blessed with hardware this year, taking gold in the PIAA Class AA 4x400 meter relay. Teammates Mason Winslow (senior), Josiah Schans (senior), Sean Frey (sophomore), and Quinn Winslow (freshman) won with a combined time of 3:28.81. “We had a lot of talent this year and trained hard,” said Coach Aaron Runkle. Josiah, a talented 110 and 300-meter hurdler, discussed winning states

with his coach at the beginning of the season. “Josiah told me he wanted to win states,” said Runkle. “We had the team to do it. Our seniors would come out with fast (split) times, and Sean got into lifting and had a lot of growth. Quinn has the potential to be at least as good as his brother, maybe better, if he keeps working hard.”

“I didn’t really have a sense that we would be as good as we were. I thought we’d be good but not that good,” said Ed Winslow, father of Mason and Quinn. “Mason was excited about running track because, before COVID, he wasn’t able to do too much due to an ankle injury. Quinn was also excited. They both caught the track ‘bug.’” Mr. Winslow went on to say he saw the potential for greatness, especially in the younger members of the relay team, but that he thought it was down the road a bit. “Quinn had some good times going in, but I didn’t expect this kind of performance. They worked hard in the off-season, though. Mason hit the weight room and ran, which not everyone does. It was the same with

We wanted to save him for the 400 and the 4x400 relay, so he’d be fresh at states.” Mason Winslow went on to win both events at the district championships.

The future is bright for these young athletes. “Quinn and Sean are excited about next season,” said Ed Winslow. “We’ve got some good eighth graders coming up, and our 1st alternate from this season was also very good.”

When asked if he knew he had a championship team at the beginning of the season, Coach Runkle responded, “I would say that when January hit is when I knew. With the large number of athletes that wanted to run indoors and train in the off-season, sometimes in the rain and snow. I knew that if we put in the work, we would win states and win 4x400 gold. I had a talk with them and told them that, and they believed me, and in the end, we came home with the gold.”

Takes Place This Weekend

By Lou Hunsinger Jr.

Rattlesnakes bring a vision of fear and dread in the eyes of many, maybe because they are a venomous woodland viper. However, for the Morris Fire Company, they have a very useful and important function. They are used by the fire company in their annual Rattlesnake Round-Up as a means to raise much-needed funds for the company. The Morris Rattlesnake Round-up has been taking place since 1956.

“The Rattlesnake Round-up is sponsored by the Morris Twp Fire Company. The event is one of several fundraisers for the fire company, which allows us to protect and serve our communities,”

Melanie Herb, Secretary of the Morris Township Fire Company, told Webb Weekly. “The event not only helps the fire company but also helps support our local churches. We count on them to serve our chicken barbecue dinners. Local businesses also count on the increase in business (restaurants, campgrounds, cabin rentals, to name a few).”

According to Herb, the hunt itself is governed by state regulations through the Fish and Boat Commission. Hunt-

ers are required to have a fishing license and permit to hunt the Timber Rattlesnakes. Hunters are only allowed one snake, which must be at least 42 inches long and possess 21 or more subcaudal scales. Additional information can be located at www.fishandboat.com. There you will also find additional information about other native reptiles and amphibians. The fire company does not sponsor the hunt to exterminate the snakes. They like to educate people about the snakes.

There is more to this event than the rounding up of snakes. If you don’t like snakes, you can spend the weekend there and not have to see one! There is a one-pitch softball tournament, a large flea and craft market, a chicken barbecue dinner, and lots of food served up by the volunteers, including burgers, hotdogs, pulled pork, fresh-cut fries, funnel cakes, and Sunset Ice Cream. There’s live entertainment throughout the weekend and fireworks on Saturday night at “dark thirty”!

The fire company sells “Snake Hunt t-shirts,” which are very popular. Get there early if you want one!!

It’s great family fun! So come and enjoy this interesting and unique event.

County Hall Corner: Our Future is in Fifteen Minutes

By Larry Stout

One of the recurring themes that is heard repeatedly at the Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting is about their concern for the future. It was brought up again at the most recent meeting on Thursday, June 1st, concerning the use of the federal ARPA Funds, which are being used for ‘generational’ projects.

The focus is well needed, as the latest 2020 census for Lycoming County has a population of 114,182, which was a 2.2 percent decrease from the 2010 census. More of a concern would be the area’s aging; 20 percent of Lycoming County’s population is 65 years and older. The commissioners are doing the right thing in improving the infrastructure for future development, but what will bring that development? Well, it might very well be that our area could become a haven for those who are tired of wasting time.

Obviously, no one likes to waste time. But in the slam-jammed world we live in now, the more people that want to live in a given area seriously impacts the quality of life. For well over a century, city planners have tried to find the right

design to meet the various needs and maintain a decent quality of life at the same time.

It turns out that one man has hit on an idea that many believe might be the right answer. The man’s name is Carlos Moreno, winner of last year’s prestigious Obel Award for architectural contributions to human development all over the world. Moreno also won the award for best TEDx talk of the year.

An official TEDx Talk is a showcase for speakers presenting great, well-formed ideas in under 18 minutes. They are to be about something that’s new and surprising such as an idea or invention that your audience has never heard about. Or it could be a great basic idea with

See COUNTY HALL on Page 14

COUNTY HALL

a new twist to it that is challenging to consider.

Carlos Moreno’s award-winning TEDx talk was on the 15-minute city. It is simple yet quite profound. Essentially it is an urban planning concept in which most daily necessities and services, such as work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure, are all designed to be within 15 minutes of your home residence.

This concept has resonated with so many city dwellers because sometimes half of their day is taken up just getting from point A to point B, and not just for work, but almost anything they do. Commuting from home to work, even by public transportation, can take hours and hours. The COVID shutdowns caused an awakening that many jobs could be done at home, but it still does not solve the backlash that is taking place in our country right now concerning personal time management.

What does this have to do with Lycoming County and Williamsport in particular? Let’s think about this for a moment. Are there work possibilities? The answer is yes, as there have been more and more companies showing an interest in our area. How about shopping? Same thing, there are very good stores around for many necessary and

discretionary sale items. As far as education, our local schools have been under a battering ram a bit of late but are still as good as anywhere else in the Commonwealth. And the two colleges also continue to be academically sound and strong. There are housing developments in the works, there are some wonderful parks and beautiful surrounding nature, and we have two major hospital complexes throughout the area.

Now get this — all of this is accessible within fifteen minutes or so from at least 90 percent of the county residents. For major or even average cities to become “15-minute cities” will take decades of work, if it is even possible. So what will a person or family do if they want to get out of the hustle and bustle and begin to spend their time doing what they want and need to do rather than continually wasting time waiting and waiting and waiting? Williamsport and the surrounding area await!

The American artist Andy Warhol once said, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” Williamsport gets to be famous for two weeks every August as the world comes to the Little League World Series, but then they leave. Perhaps the future is coming to us and staying here, as we have the ideal 15-minute city.

Disney’s Latest: A Not-So-Little Mermaid

Regarding Disney’s latest, the question might be: “Does the world really need another ‘Little Mermaid?’”

But we already posed that query with recent live-action reboots of “Cinderella,” “Jungle Book” and “Beauty and the Beast.” The answer was: “Probably not; but no one’s complaining.”

Joseph W. Smith III

And they won’t complain about the latest “Mermaid,” either — though I don’t think it’s quite as strong as the terrific titles above.

Somewhat delayed by COVID, this eagerly awaited new version has a lot going for it: The film looks fantastic, a shoo-in for an Oscar nom on cinematography — and perhaps production design as well. The new songs are excellent, and performances from Javier Bardem, Art Malik, Daveed Diggs and Jonah Hauer-King (as Prince Eric) are top-of-the-line.

But nearly everyone agrees that the film’s greatest asset is Halle Bailey.

Her mesmerizing work as Ariel instantly dismisses the silly controversy over casting an African-American in this role. (Was it really smart to insist on faithfulness to original author Hans Christian Andersen, when the 1989 film had pretty much completely rewritten his story to begin with?)

Bailey somehow manages to endow Ariel with a more modern femininity without erasing her charm, her innocence or her girlishness. And good heavens, can that woman sing. When Bailey gets through with her initial number, the winsome-as-ever “Part of My World,” you just want to stand up and cheer. Or at least splash salt water and seashells into the air.

Jonah-Hauer’s first song, “Wild Uncharted Waters,” is likewise engaging, though like others here, it’s new to this film. I also loved the incidental music during the mid-movie market scene.

And for the record, original Ariel Jodi Benson — who pronounced her blessing on Bailey’s performance — has a cameo in that scene.

Many viewers enjoyed Melissa McCarthy as the villainous Ursula, but for me it really did not work. Perhaps there was something jarring in importing McCarthy’s smart-alecky, real-world persona into this fantasy realm; or relatedly, that her Ursula simply isn’t frightening. Instead, as she slithers horizontally along in her bulging tentacled costume, she spends much of her time looking simply uncomfortable — which, needless to say, is not very scary.

Contrast this with Ursula’s conniving human counterpart Vanessa, who nearly seduces Eric away from our heroine; with her brief but galvanizing work in this role, Jessica Alexander proves truly unnerving and shows, among other things, that strong acting can make a lovely woman both menacing and ugly.

Diggs is hilarious in a role that at first seems underwritten; I mean, his crabby Sebastian sidesteps the usual non-

stop wisecracks and zippy one-liners with which modern kid-movies often try so hard to be cool. And actually, about halfway through the film — during Eric and Ariel’s outing on the boat, to be specific — I realized that for all the dazzling colors and sea life and choreography, this new version was working hard to keep it low-key, and not to jazz up a time-tested classic. All this helps maintain an old-style, fairytale vibe even in a film that takes every advantage of the latest technology in sight and sound.

I will say, however, that the movie kinda loses that vibe at the climax — a loud and overblown action scene that is at least relatively brief. I also didn’t care any more here for the metaphysics of Ursula’s defeat and Triton’s restoration than I did in the first film.

But these are quibbles on a hit that has already proven to be a bona fide crowd-pleaser.

Maybe we didn’t really need another “Mermaid”; but we certainly needed a Halle Bailey.

I think we’ll all be glad she’s part of our world.

The Game of Memory

It’s funny how you see or hear something, and it takes you back to something you hadn’t thought about in years. Today my son Tyler was getting ready to go fishing at the river. It’s hot, and the sun is bright. I packed him some snacks in my lunch box and made sure he had a drink. I asked him if he had sunglasses, and he asked me if he could wear a pair of my Blenders. I’m obsessed with Blenders. They are amazing sunglasses. I’ve had over a dozen pairs over the past few years. Christmas gifts, and when they go on sale, I’ll buy a pair or two. I love all the different colors and styles, plus they don’t cost a fortune like Oakleys or Ray Bans. He asked me to wear my lemon or aqua pair, and I told him I didn’t care as long as he took care of them.

“I know you wouldn’t let me wear your new ones you got for Christmas,” he said as he picked them up off the bar and looked at them.

“Yea, I prefer not,” I replied. After he left, I sat on the couch to write my column and saw my glasses on the bar. I forgot to put them back in my sunglass box by the front door after I dropped Ty off at his friends to go fishing. I then looked over on my black stand in the dining room. There were my other pair of glasses, just like it. (Chris ordered me two for Christmas, but they sent the same two pairs! I saved one, but

for some reason, they were out of the box.) I must have thought they were the pair I had been wearing, but no clue why they were there. So, as I was sitting there seeing these two pairs of identical sunglasses, it hit me about a game I used to play as a little girl. It was one of my favorites because I was pretty darn good at it. The game Memory. Man, did I love that game!! I hadn’t thought about that game in so long. My Grammy, Margaret Perry, played that with me all the time. We would lay each card down on her table and make a big square. As we pulled the matches, we would put the cards together more but really focus on where each card went. That’s the thing about the game memory; you have to remember where you found the match before you flip over the wrong card.

Grammy and I played so many games together, weekend after weekend. I still have her old Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders board. I have the pack of cards and case that we played rummy with. She taught me how to play at a young age, and this game was our favorite! I swear they still smell like her and Pap’s house.

The sweet yellow house that sits right over the Maynard Street bridge in Southside to the left, two houses in. That side bay win-

See

dow where we would put up her Precious Moments Christmas Village together. The yard where I would lay in Grammy’s clothes basket at a few years old while she hung out laundry. The streets where she would walk me down to the Family Dollar and buy me candy and fake nails for our weekend together.

The park up the road where we used to go play at. It’s not the same anymore, but it still takes me back when I drive by. The lions club bench near that park, where my pop would go take care of the flowers because he was a part of the Southside Lions Club. I can still hear him.

“Margret, I’ll be back. I am going to head

down the road for a bit and take care of some things. You two behave yourselves,” he would say.

Pop always knew Grammy and I had too much fun when we were together. We would just laugh and laugh about the silliest things! Oh, my word, when he would come home in the middle of the summer from doing Lions Club things and walking in the house, I can still see his face. He would walk through the back door of the kitchen, the blinds were all closed, and Christmas music was playing. There was Grammy and me at the kitchen table with snacks on the table, hot chocolate, and into a game of rummy with Christmas

music playing. He thought we were crazy, but we loved pretending it was Christmas time. He never made us turn it off, but always told us, “You girls know it’s only July, right?”

We knew but didn’t care.

To this day, I can’t play rummy. I just can’t bring myself to play with anyone else but her. Right before she passed away, my last words to her were about our rummy games. How I somehow always managed to beat her, and that someday, again soon, we would play together again, and she would probably whoop me. She nodded her head with a smile as I sat there laughing and crying at the same time. I kissed her cheek and told her how much I loved her. That was the last time I had with my Grammy.

It took me seeing two pairs of identical sunglasses to bring up the memory of the game MEMORY, which led to all these other amazing memories I had with my grandparents. We may not have them on earth anymore, but they will forever be in my heart and memory.

I could go on and on about them and all our wonderful times together. I know so many of you knew my grandparents. Not only Dwain & Margaret Perry but Floyd and Lois Liddick. A few of you have said you tear up reading about them. They were amazing people! With summer practically here, it sure gives me memories of Gram and Pap Liddick. I’ll share some of that next week.

I am so thankful I can share these special moments in my life with you, with those who knew them, and even those who didn’t. Grandparents are one of God’s greatest gifts;

he gave me the best.

Strawberry Jelly Ingredients:

• 2 cups crushed strawberries (Buy or pick

1 qt. fully ripe strawberries. Picked are best, but whatever you prefer.)

• 4 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl

• 3/4 cup water

• 1 pkg. SURE-JELL Fruit Pectin

Directions:

Rinse 5 (1-cup) plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly. Discard stems. Crush strawberries thoroughly, 1 cup at a time. Measure exactly 2 cups of prepared fruit into a large bowl. Stir in sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

**It’s important to measure everything exactly or it won’t set. **

Mix water and pectin in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling and stirring for 1 min. Add to the fruit mixture; stir 3 min or until most of the sugar is dissolved. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)

I freeze mine and enjoy it all winter long. My kids are obsessed with this jelly!

By Joseph W. Smith III

While perusing my Brobdingnagian list of oddball vocabulary for this week’s selection, I noted that very early on, I’d included “sesquipedalian.” The wonderful American Heritage Dictionary defines this as “long and ponderous,” “polysyllabic” or “given to using long words.”

Perfect, I thought; let’s focus this list on words of unusual length.

So in keeping with the theme of “a little too much,” here’s a baker’s dozen — with my usual nod to dictionary.com for many of these definitions.

Chryselephantine (kris-ell-uh-FAN-tin, adjective) – Combining Greek roots related to gold (“chrys”) and ivory (that’s what “elephant” originally meant), this word describes objects made with those two substances.

Circumbendibus (sir-kum-BEND-uhbus, noun) – A roundabout way, especially in speaking; synonym for “circumlocution.” (And yes, it comes from the prefix “circum,” meaning “around,” and the word “bend” — with a fake Latin ending tacked on for jocular effect.)

Hemidemisemiquaver (hem-ee-demee-SEM-ee-kway-ver, noun) – In music, a 64th note. Since the beat usually occurs on a quarter note (so-called because it’s that fraction of four-beat measure), this would be a very short tone representing one-fourth of a beat. (“Hemi,” “demi” and

“semi” are all prefix-terms meaning “half”; since “quaver” can mean “eighth note,” then one half of one half of one half of that = 1/64.)

Hendecasyllabic (hen-duh-kuh-sillAB-ik, adjective) – Having 11 syllables (“hendeca” means 11). Not terribly useful, since very few words fall into this category — though our next entry, with 12, comes close.

Humuhumunukunukuapua’a (hoomoo-hoo-moo-noo-koo-noo-koo-ah-pooAH-ah, noun) – This truly sesquipedalian word is a Hawaiian term for two species of triggerfish. A colorful and odd-looking reef-dweller that looks like it was made from leftover parts of other sea-creatures, it is the Hawaiian state fish. I first came upon it in the lunatic Bugs Bunny short “Wackiki Wabbit” (1943), one of the best of those early Looney Toons.

Intussusception (in-tuh-suh-SEP-shun, noun) – Literally “the act of taking in,” this is most commonly used to describe a potentially life-threatening medical condition when part of the intestine folds inside the other, like a telescope. Without being too gross, let’s just say it can usually be treated without surgery.

Jiggery-pokery (JIG-uh-ree-PO-ku-ree, noun) – Hocus-pocus or underhanded tricks; also, manipulation. From “jouk” (fast movement) and the British “pawky” (cunning, sly).

Labyrinthodont (lab-uh-RINTH-uhdahnt, noun) – A now-extinct group of

lizard-like amphibians from prehistoric times. As per its final syllable, the term describes an odd folding of the creatures’ tooth enamel.

Opisthognathous (op-iss-THOG-nuhthuss) – Having receding jaws.

Philoprogenitiveness (fill-oh-pro-JENuh-tiv-ness, noun) – The trait of producing abundant offspring; or of having love for one’s children. Not a common term, it can nonetheless be found in O. Henry’s uproarious story “The Ransom of Red Chief” — which, incidentally, is in the public domain and readily available online.

Slubberdegullion (slub-ur-dee-GULLyon, noun) – A scoundrel; a slovenly or worthless person. I first encountered this on Genesis’s early double LP “The Lamb

Lies Down on Broadway” (1974) — a solid candidate for the greatest album ever made. At the time, I thought lyricist Peter Gabriel had simply made it up.

Snollygoster (SNOLL-ee-goss-ter, noun) – A clever or unprincipled person — to which one website adds, “especially a politician”; gotta love it!

Wamble-cropped (WAM-bull-cropped, adjective) – Sickly; having a noisy or upset stomach. (“Wamble” is an obscure term for nausea or unsteadiness.)

“Brobdingnagian,” by the way, means “gigantic” and derives from the race of Brobdingnags in the novel “Gulliver’s Travels” (which is why it’s capitalized). “Sesquipedalian” contains the well-known base “ped-” and literally means “one and a half feet.”

General Literacy Foundation

Brown Library Receives Grant From Dollar

The Dollar General Literacy Foundation recently awarded James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., a $3,000 grant to support the Summer Learning Program.

This local grant is a part of the Foundation’s largest, one-day literacy donation of more than $13 million throughout the 47 states in which Dollar General operates to support adult, family and summer literacy programs.

The library’s Summer Learning Program kicks off June 1 and focuses on the theme, “All Together Now,” which explores the power of kindness, friendship, and community. The Summer Learning Program is an opportunity to keep children engaged in reading and learning over the summer, whether at home or in the Library.

Registration for all summer learning programs is ongoing and available at calendar.jvbrown.edu. The program is

completely funded by generous donations and sponsorships. Donations are accepted all summer long and may be made online here: https://jvbrown.edu/ summer-learner-sponsor/.

“It is a joy to celebrate this historic grant announcement during our 30th anniversary year,” shared Denine Torr, executive director of the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. “For three decades, DGLF’s investment in community programs has created meaningful access to literacy skills for adults, children and families alike and exemplified Dollar General’s mission of Serving Others. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity and access to a quality education, and we look forward to seeing these literacy grants inspire reading and build brighter futures.”

The Dollar General Literacy Foundation supports organizations that increase access to educational programming, stimulate and enable innovation in the delivery of educational instruction and inspire a love of reading. Each year, DGLF awards funds to nonprofit organizations, schools, and libraries within a 15-mile radius of a Dollar General store or distribution center to support adult, family, summer and youth literacy programs. The Foundation also offers a

student referral program for individuals interested in learning how to read, speak English, or prepare for the high school equivalency exam. Referrals to a local organization that provides free literacy services are available online here or through referral cards found in the Learn to Read brochures that are available at the cash register of every Dollar General store.

The James V. Brown Library is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Walk-in passport services are available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays.

The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., Williamsport, Pa., is the place to go to learn, connect and grow. Founded in June 1907, the library champions the love of reading, opens new doors to lifelong learning, provides a haven to those who seek and ensures the preservation of public library services for future generations. The library has more than 225,000 visitors in a year and circulates a half-million items annually. A member of the Lycoming County Library System, the James V. Brown Library participates in PA Forward, a statewide initiative to promote literacies in our communities to power a better future for everyone.

PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating balance problems. is damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood ow to the nerves in the hands and feet which causes the nerves to begin to degenerate due to the lack of nutrient ow.

As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels that surround the nerves become diseased they shrivel up which causes the nerves to not get the nutrients to continue to survive. When these nerves begin to “die”

they cause you to have balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and many additional symptoms.

Treatment at Twin Hills can include light therapy. The low level light therapy is like watering a plant. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a plant and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.

UPMC Expert: What to Do in an Emergency When Minutes Matter

Jeffrey Myers, D.O. Emergency Medicine, UPMC

Cardiac arrests, opioid overdoses, mental health crises, and bleeding emergencies sound like the plot lines for your favorite medical TV drama, but the reality is they happen to people every day. You never know if or when a medical emergency is going to happen, so it’s best to be prepared for anything. Even in the best circumstances, EMS can be several minutes away. Basic emergency information empowers bystanders to help make a difference immediately when minutes matter.

Cardiac Events

Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops beating or becomes extremely irregular. This disrupts the flow of blood to vital organs, leaving victims with only a few minutes to survive if there isn’t immediate intervention. If you find someone who cannot breathe, is gasping for air, or is unresponsive, they may be experiencing a cardiac event.

In cardiac arrest, getting the heart to beat and pump blood is essential to save

heart muscle and preserve life. Begin hands-only CPR immediately and call 911. If you don’t know CPR, the 911 dispatcher can help talk you through it until first responders arrive. If you’re in a public space, try to locate an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) and follow its instructions. This device can help measure the heart’s rhythm and deliver a shock if needed all while giving clear and audible instructions. If an AED is not available, continue chest compressions until help arrives. Even if an AED is available, continuing chest compressions and effective CPR is critical.

Opioid Overdoses

If someone is experiencing an overdose, they may seem extremely sleepy or “out of it” but still respond to stimuli, breathe slowly or shallowly, have blue fingertips or lips, or have small pupils. They may also be completely unresponsive.

If you believe the person is experiencing an overdose, call 911 for help, roll the person on their side to help clear their airway, and administer Narcan if available. When emergency responders

arrive, be prepared to help them by answering any questions they may have.

Mental Health Crises

No two mental health crises are exactly alike, but there are common factors or significant stressors that may contribute to a crisis. A few examples include trauma, loss, and financial hardship. In addition, feeling overwhelmed or having uncontrollable thoughts, feelings, or behaviors are also important to recognize as contributions to mental health crises. There are five steps outlined by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention and the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to help someone who is experiencing suicidal thoughts or actions.

1. Ask – Just by asking “are you thinking about suicide or self-harm?” helps to let the person know you’re willing to help or talk about the subject in an accepting way.

2. Be There – Be present emotionally by actively listening to them and physically if possible.

3. Help Keep Them Safe – Ensure the safety of the person. Knowing if any steps that have been taken by the at-risk person can tell you how severe the situation is.

4. Help Them Connect – Helpful resources are out there. 988 should be dialed in emergencies, but communities offer additional support, mental health professionals, and other programs.

5. Follow Up – Make sure they are okay and that they are still connected with the previously mentioned resources.

Uncontrollable Bleeding

Uncontrolled bleeding accounts for most preventable trauma deaths – 35% of all pre-hospital deaths are due to blood loss. Call 911 and while help is on the way, try to locate the source of the bleed. It could occur in multiple places that are not easily visible; it’s important to check everywhere. Look out for continuous bleeding, large-volume bleeding, and the pooling of blood. Cover the injury with gauze or cloth and apply pressure until help arrives. Do not hesitate to apply a tourniquet if simple direct pressure does not stop the bleeding.

UPMC launched Minutes Matter to provide community members with access to basic emergency information and education about life-saving interventions.

What

the Nutrients

Anutritious diet can serve as a strong foundation for a long, healthy life. Fruits and vegetables are the building blocks of nutritious diets, as they’re loaded with nutrients that serve the body in myriad ways.

Calcium: Dark, leafy vegetables like kale, spinach, broccoli, and bok choi contain calcium. Calcium also is found fruits, including papaya and orange. According to the National Institutes of Health, the body utilizes calcium to

build and maintain strong bones. In fact, the NIH notes that almost all calcium in the body is stored in the bones and teeth, where this vital mineral provides structure and hardness. Calcium also helps nerves carry messages from the brain to every part of the body.

Dietary fiber: Dietary fiber is found in various fruits and vegetables. The Cleveland Clinic notes that berries like raspberries and blackberries contain significant amounts of dietary fiber. Pears, artichoke hearts and Brussels

sprouts are packed with fiber as well. A high-fiber diet helps stabilize bowel movements and maintain bowel health, and WebMD notes that studies have found a link between high-fiber diets and a lower risk for colorectal cancer. Studies also have linked fiber-rich foods with heart-friendly outcomes like reduced inflammation and lower cholesterol.

Magnesium: The Mayo Clinic reports that magnesium supports muscle and nerve function and energy production. Individuals with chronically low levels of magnesium could be at increased risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and osteoporosis. The NIH notes that magnesium is widely distributed in plants. That means it can be found in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, including spinach, edamame, black beans, bananas, and broccoli. Magnesium levels vary significantly in these foods, so anyone concerned about magnesium deficiency can speak with their physicians about the best and healthiest ways to include more in their diets.

Vitamin A: According to the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, vitamin A stimulates the production and activity of white blood cells, helps maintain healthy cells that line the body’s interior surfaces and regulates cell growth and division necessary for repro- duction. Green, leafy vegetables are good sources of vitamin A, as are orange and yellow vegetables like carrots and squash. Vitamin A also can be found in cantaloupe, apricots and mangos.

Potassium: The Dietary Guidelines for Americans established by the United States Department of Agriculture list beat greens, lima beans, swiss chard, baked potatoes (with skin), and yams as great sources of potassium. Kiwi, melon, cantaloupe, and bananas are additional sources of potassium. The T.H. Chan School of Public Health reports that the main role of potassium in the body is to help maintain normal levels of fluid inside the cells. Potassium also supports a normal blood pressure.

The nutrients found in various fruits and vegetables go a long way toward building stronger, healthier bodies.

Outfits, Not Just Clothes…

Summer Fun Outfits

Idon’t know about you, but one of the ways I get myself through the dreary bouts of winter weather is by dreaming up ideal summer activities, vacations, and trips. A big part of that daydreaming-as-self-care is planning (and in some cases fantasizing) all of the warm-weather outfits I’d wear. Now that we are in the midst of summer and my calendar is filling up, I’m no longer fantastically thinking about what to wear, but I am in serious outfit-planning mode. Here are a few summer fun activities, trips, and events and what could be worn for each. Summer movie blockbusters. There is always a slew of long-awaited films that come out in summer, and this year for our household, The Little Mermaid and Barbie are going to be blowing young minds. We missed out on getting our mermaid-core on here for the opening weekend of The Little Mermaid, but we are ready to go full Barbiecore in all pink for Barbie’s premiere. You may be more of an audience for summer features like Fast X or Spider-Man, but no matter the film, you can always dress to the theme or in the style of your favor-

Bernadette Ulsamer

ite action or comedy star. For more of a grownup activity like winery or brewery tours, I like to dress up a bit, especially for the former and if dinner is capping off the day.

Sipping on some chardonnay or a hoppy IPA feels more luxurious in a floral dress, no? You can go flowy and maxi or go a bit more boho in a crocheted dress with a slip underneath. A little white dress, a summer classic, is also a stylish option for taste-testing, preferable on a patio of sorts. Either way, I’d suggest flats; you don’t want to run the risk of being tipsy in heels.

One of my favorite activities yearround is hiking. But hiking with friends is more for the summertime, in my book. When meeting up for a walking date, try out a bit of denim on denim with jean shorts and a chambray shirt. Overall, shorts are also great on relaxed hikes. If you’ll be doing something a bit more strenuous, depending on the trail, lean more toward functionality and safety. I tend to wear full-length leggings, thicker

socks, and water-resistant hiking boots on a long walk. I also like to tie a bandana around my wrist for wiping my face and dressing in layers. Other key accessories are water, bug spray, sunblock, and a windbreaker in case of a sudden downpour. Lastly, don’t forget to tick-check when you’re done for the day.

For a day at an amusement park, I tend to keep things sporty. Biker shorts or capri leggings, sports bra, loose tank tied on the side, and comfy sneakers. An alternative if you’re less into fitted bottoms is cutoffs and a graphic t-shirt. Also, leave the full face of makeup and statement jewelry at home. Dressing up to ride rollercoasters and bumper cars runs the risk of losing something, and by the end of the day, your face would have sweated away. For my girls, when we plan to be outdoors with crowds, I dress them in bright, preferably neon, colors to make it easier to spot them. Reflective hats are great for this, instead of dressing them head-to-toe in hot pink. We’re saving pink for Barbie For trips to the beach or pool days, I prefer a one-piece, preferably in a solid dark color, worn with drawstring sweat shorts, a heavy dose of SPF, a sun hat, and flip-flops. But that’s pretty low-key. I do like the idea of two pieces mixed

and matched with other sets and an oversized men’s white button-up with slide sandals. Or a tropical-print caftan cover-up with any suit to bring a bit of glamor to the pool party.

At night around the fire pit, you can look cute and be comfy in a go-to pair of stretchy jeans, a t-shirt, and your favorite summer knit. Of course, most cozy athleisure wear will do, and if you’re going with more of a pull-on pant/jogger, ideally, they’d be cuffed, not loose-legged. You do want to wear anything too flowy or breezy around the fire. Also, while being outdoors, if you’re close to the woods, you may want to pull on some thick socks and wear them over your pant legs. It may look goofy, but I say embrace that. Get the thickest, most obnoxious athletic socks and really get them up over your ankles. Wear a pair of Birkenstocks or other thick sandal to play into the silliness.

I know that during summer, it’s not so much about what you wear but about having fun, whether you’re headed to the neighbor’s pool or getting on a plane to Greece. What you wear shouldn’t deter you from that fun, so why it’s always nice to be stylish, don’t let style get in your way of enjoying yourself.

Move All Summer Long: Five Activities to Keep Children Active

Everybody, no matter their age, can benefit from daily physical activity. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), young children should be physically active throughout the day for growth and development. Despite the common misconception that children are in perpetual motion, the CDC reminds caregivers to encourage children to be active when they play.

“Physical activity is important because it is critical in assisting with gross motor

development and helps support development in other areas,” said Khy Sline from KinderCare Learning Center’s education team. “Children thrive when we give them the tools to use their bodies and muscles in new ways and make mind-body connections.”

Consider these five activities to encourage children to get moving.

Blow bubbles. Appealing to children from infancy on up, seeing bubbles floating around can encourage babies to reach out and try to grab them, building arm

strength and coordination. Toddlers and older children can run around the patio or lawn chasing bubbles and watching them pop.

Build a tunnel. Whether indoors or out, made from furniture covered with sheets or cardboard boxes, tunnels encourage children to move over, under, around and through, which helps them explore new ways of moving while also building coordination and balance.

Play hide and seek. As they dash around trying to find the perfect hiding spot, children build spatial awareness, their understanding of where their bodies are in relation to other people and objects.

Play red light, green light. This classic game helps children build coordination -

connecting the verbal instruction with the physical movement - while also teaching them impulse control, an essential executive function skill. Be sure to get creative with instructions and add variations like tip-toeing, crawling, hopping and more.

Walk the line. Draw a line on the ground using chalk outdoors or painter’s tape indoors and encourage your children to walk along the line. This activity helps children improve balance and coordination. Get creative and add in a challenge by drawing a wavy or zig-zag line. Once your children get the hang of following the line, ask them to think of other ways to travel along that space, such as hopping on one foot or skipping. (Family Features & KinderCare)

Mental Health Issues That Affect Men

Studies have shown that men have historically been less likely to report mental health issues than women. Lower rates of self-reporting among men may be attributable to a number of factors, including the stigma that’s still attached to the issue of mental health.

Mental health issues can affect all aspects of a person’s life, and if left untreated, these issues can have grave consequences. Men are not immune to those consequences. In fact, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates age-adjusted suicide rates are substantially higher among men than women. Among

men, that rate is 14 per 100,000, which is more than twice as high as the rate among women (6.1 per 100,000).

There’s no formula to identify which men will develop a mental health issue or which condition they might experience. But it’s worth noting some of the more common mental health issues and equally important that all men recognize these issues can affect any man at any time.

Anxiety

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services notes that anxiety disorders affect roughly 20 percent of the adult population in the United States each year. Similarly, Statistics Canada notes that a

screening in spring 2021 found that 15 percent of Canadians screened positive for generalized anxiety disorder. Anxiety is an umbrella term that alludes to a number of issues that each produce their own symptoms and side effects, but the DHHS notes that anxiety disorders are marked by feelings of fear and uncertainty that interfere with everyday activities. These feelings persist for six months or more and can increase a person’s risk for heart disease, diabetes, substance abuse, and depression.

Depression

The World Health Organization reports that roughly 5 percent of the global adult population suffers from depression. Depression is more than the feelings of sadness that everyone experiences from time to time. The National Institute of Mental Health notes that depression produces persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety or an “empty” mood. Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism are some additional characteristics of depression. It’s important to recognize that these symptoms must be persistent. Symptoms that persist for at least two weeks and interfere with a person’s ability to work, sleep, study, and eat may indicate major depression, while less severe symptoms that last for at least two years suggest the presence of persistent depressive disorder.

Substance Use Disorder

The National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics has identified substance use disorder as a public health emergency. Statistics support that assertion, as data from the National Center for Health Statistics in-

dicates more than 20 million Americans ages 12 and over are affected by a substance use disorder. Statistics Canada indicates that around six million Canadians will meet the criteria for addiction in their lifetime. Though anyone, including children, can develop substance use disorder, a 2016 report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration indicated that men have higher rates of use or dependence on illicit drugs and alcohol than women. The National Institutes of Health notes that substance use disorder affects a person’s brain and behavior, which makes them incapable of controlling their use of substances, including medication and alcohol.

Men are no less vulnerable to mental health issues than women. The NIMH urges individuals in crisis or people who suspect someone is in crisis to call 911 or to call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988. More information about mental health can be found at nimh.nih.gov.

Baseball’s Dignitaries Pay Respect to ‘Big Six’ at Big Memorial Day Dedication at Bucknell

Christy Matthewson the “Big Six” of baseball was hailed in death by baseball’s top authority, Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis, as the man who made baseball “the truly national game it is today.”

The Commissioner of Baseball paid tribute to “Matty” at the presentation to Bucknell University of the Christy Matthewson memorial gateway to the memorial stadium.

The ceremony took place at an assemblage of baseball leaders many of whom

were friends of Matthewson. They came from the sports centers of the nation to honor “Matty” and were joined by the alumni and faculty of Bucknell from which the “Big Six” graduated before he reached baseball greatness. It was Bucknell alumni Homecoming and thousands were on hand before the gateway to hear the tributes of Landis and others.

Matty’s grave in the Lewisburg cemetery, not far from campus was covered in floral tributes. The first act of National League President, John A. Heydler was the placing of a wreath on the grave and the whole party of baseball visitors did him further honor at a luncheon at Matthewson’s fraternity house, Phi Gamma Delta.

Judge Landis spoke of Matthewson as a young baseball player who had more than

playing ability to carry him to the heights. It was his character, his integrity and his heart, the commissioner said which endeared him to every man and woman, boy and girl between the two oceans. Landis also spoke of Matthewson’s work in rebuilding the Boston National League club. Also on the podium for the ceremony was Judge Emil Fuchs, President of the Boston Braves, Charles Stoneham, President of the New Giants, William L. Veeck, President of the Chicago Cubs and Clark A. Griffith, President of the Washington Senators.

Following the dedication of the memorial tablets a ballgame was held between the Bucknell and Penn State baseball teams. The game was called because of rain after one inning.

10 Facts About Trade School

Vocational programs attract students who do not want to attend a traditional college or university. Prospective trade school students can keep this information in mind as they consider if a career in the trades is right for them.

1. Students can often learn a trade and enter a related profession within 10 to 24 months of enrolling in trade school.

2. Schools focused on specific trades have strong job placement rates that often exceed those of schools where students pursue four-year degrees, according to the Philadelphia Technician Training School.

3. Qualified instructors and trade industry experts tend to be on staff at vocational schools. The instructors bring years of on-the-job experience to the classroom.

4. Many trade school programs offer accelerated formats that lean heavily on specialized training for specific career goals.

5. Trade schools tend to merge instruction in a traditional classroom setting with hands-on training in real-world situations. That means those studying electrical trades may work in laboratories that mimic both home and business settings.

6. Forbes reports that students in trade school often take part in a paid apprenticeship where they earn money while learning on the job. Statistics from the

United States government state 92 percent of apprentices who complete their programs retain employment and go on to earn a salary.

7. Many trades are quite lucrative and in-demand. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, carpenters earn a median wage of $54,000 while an elevator and escalator installer and repair person earns an average of $86,000 per year.

8. Many trade schools offer industry support and career services, just like traditional colleges. These departments can assist students in funding tuition through federal aid and scholarships and help them find jobs.

9. Students enrolled in accredited vocational schools could be eligible for federal student aid. That’s particularly true for students enrolled in programs that last longer than 15 weeks, according to The Balance, a financial resource. Individuals living in the U.S. can file the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) to see if they’re eligible for assistance.

10. Apart from elevator installers and repair people, dental hygienists and radiation therapists tend to earn the highest salaries in the trades.

Students interested in trade education can speak with school guidance counselors or reach out to accredited trade schools to learn more about opportunities near them.

Four Natural Wound Care Solutions

any people look for natural products with “clean” ingredients, especially in the food, beverage, skin care and beauty categories. In fact, the market for clean label ingredients is projected to reach $64.1 billion by 2026, according to Allied Market Research. For many common ailments or minor injuries, there’s a natural treatment that can be used in place of hard-to-pronounce ingredients and preservatives.

“This same kind of clean ingredient demand is migrating to the first-aid space with many of these natural alternatives being used to treat anything from scrapes and bug bites to wound odor and pulled or sore muscles,” said Dr. Billy Goldberg, a “New York Times” best-selling authorand emergency room physician. “In fact, some companies are beginning to incorporate these kinds of natural and efficacious ingredients right into their products.”

Goldberg and the first-aid experts at CURAD, which have made adhesive bandages since 1951, offer these suggestions for natural ingredients you can use at home to treat common ailments:

Epsom Salt - Named for a bitter saline spring at Epsom in Surrey, England, Epsom salt is not actually salt but a naturally occurring mineral compound of magnesium sulfate. Long known as a natural remedy for several ailments, Epsom salt can be used to relax muscles and relieve pain in the shoulders, neck and back. It can also be applied to sunburns or dissolved in the bath to help relieve sore muscles or detox.

Aloe Vera - Few things soothe sunburn like aloe vera. With analgesic, anti-inflammatory and soothing properties that ease the healing process, aloe vera gel contains phytochemicals that help reduce pain and inflammation. Also helpful in the healing process of cuts and scrapes, the CURAD Naturals line of adhesive bandages are infused with aloe vera in the wound pad and surface of the bandage, which is enriched with the antioxidant vitamin E to help soothe and moisturize skin.

Hydrogen Peroxide - A mild antiseptic that can be used to prevent infection of minor cuts, scrapes and burns, hydrogen peroxide is often used for the initial cleaning of wounds. Simply apply a small amount on the affected area - alternating with water to avoid killing good bacteria - to help release oxygen, which causes foaming that aids in cleaning and the removal of dead skin.

Baking Soda - Bicarbonate of soda, commonly known as baking soda, can be used for more than baking. From removing stains to cleaning teeth and more, it can also be used to help treat a variety of wounds. In addition to being an odor absorber, it can be applied to insect stings and bites, such as those from bees or mosquitoes.

Whether making a paste using baking soda and water then applying to the bite or using an option like CURAD Naturals adhesive bandages featuring baking soda, the chemical compound can help soothe the skin. In addition to absorbing wound odor, the bandages provide skin-friendly comfort and stretch with a four-sided seal to keep dirt and germs out. (Family Features & CURAD)

So what would you do, absent all modern conveniences? In “The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Women,” edited by Kami Ahrens, you’ll find out.

Nearly sixty years ago, a “group of rowdy high school students” in a small town in Georgia “decided to create a literary magazine” filled with stories, poetry, and instruction from their elders in rural Appalachia. Every year since 1966, a new batch of students has gone back to collect

more stories of life as it used to be.

This book, says editor Kami Ahrens, springs from “the Foxfire archives... going back to the roots of the organization.” Here, Ahrens lets women tell their stories alone.

Must have a letter of approval from park owner prior to bidding on the property.

and nothing to pass on to future generations. Issues of transportation arise, too: many of these women remembered walking everywhere. Margaret Burrell Norton said she was a teenager when she saw her first car. Though an occasional tale of homemade toys or silly pranks surfaces, most women spoke about working hard, with very little playtime. Hard work had history, too: Beulah Perry’s grandfather was a slave before she was born; Carrie McDonnell Stewart’s father often repeated the story of his sale on a slave block.

After her father abandoned her when she was just 11 years old, Carolyn Jones Stradley was completely on her own. Maude Conley Shope said that until “we was great big young’uns,” she and her siblings believed in Santa Claus. Modern medicine was all but nonexistent. Marriages happened early, lasted long, and family sizes were generally in the double-digits. Poverty was a common theme in these stories, and times were tough but in a crisis, people never forgot their neighbors...

The internet is down, you have one

bar on your phone, and there’s nothing on TV. Which is the perfect time to have “The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Women” in your lap.

The first thing you’ll notice about the stories in this book is that, while there are a handful of modern profiles here, many of the interviewees are gone today — most having lived long lives before dying decades ago. Their presence in this book underscores a reason for what’s here: that the ways people lived in the early half of the last century — the social customs, poverty, make-do attitudes, religious beliefs, resourcefulness, matriarchal strengths, and family life — will be forever lost unless they’re captured now.

Readers, in fact, will be glad these were.

Unique to this book in the Foxfire series is that this is all about women, making it appealing to adult historians, homesteaders, back-to-the-landers, and feminists, as well as to high schoolers of the same age as the original story-gatherers. For you, skipping “The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Women” should be unimaginable.

These Chicken Shawarma Sliders are a delicious example of how to grill healthy summer meals without forgoing favorite flavors.

The lettuce and red onion add cool crispness and crunch to the sandwiches while Fresh Cravings’ creamy, flavor-packed hummus gets some nutritional bonus points by providing a dose of protein and fiber.”

Make the Most of a Day at the Lake

Water becomes the center of attention when the temperature climbs because of the cooling relief it can provide. Making a day of splashing through sprinklers, swimming laps in a pool or horsing around with friends at a waterpark is part of the summertime experience. Even though most people equate summer fun with ocean escapes,

those who do not live close to the coast often turn to other bodies of water to cool off and chill out. Lakes can be great places to spend summer afternoons and evenings. Discover how to make time at the lake even more fun with these ideas.

Fishing

Cast your line right into the lake and take a shot at catching some fish. Bass, trout, perch, and pike may be interested in the bait hang-

ing off of your hook. Be sure to check local fish and game ordinances to see if you need a license for fishing for the season, as well as the recreational size limits, possession limits and fishing seasons if you plan on keeping your catch.

Water sports and lakes often go hand-in-hand. Certain water activities are easier on the calm waters of a lake than in the waves and swells of an ocean — particularly for beginners. Canoes and kayaks are one- or two-passenger vessels that can be launched from just about anywhere. They make areas of the lake explorable that may not be accessible to large boats. Plus, they require no fuel other than the power of rowing. If you prefer more speed, personal watercraft like jet skis may be used on lakes in certain areas. Waterskiing or wakeboarding behind powerboats are some additional options for thrill-seekers.

The Backyard Gardner…

Weed Control

y least favorite task when gardening is weeding. I often think that when I pull one weed, two more weeds appear! Over the years, I have tried many ways to control weed problems. Below are some ways that may help prevent weeds from taking over your garden.

One of the easiest methods is to look daily for weeds. Catching the little leaves as they push through the soil not only makes them easy to pull but also makes it easy to stay ahead of a problem. This also gives you time to inspect each plant for possible insect damage or diseases.

Water the plants, not the soil. Sounds funny, but when watering, it’s best to get as close to the stem as possible and try not to water the surrounding soil. Watering with a lawn sprinkler can save you time, but it also waters unwanted weeds and can be wasteful.

I garden in raised beds and use a hand cultivator. The cultivator not only removes weeds but it loosens the soil for better airflow to the roots. When loosening the soil, be careful not to go too

deep and accidentally damage the roots. It’s best to only loosen the top 2 inches of soil since most roots should be deeper. There are some products that you can use to help with composting in the garden. Straw, grass clippings, shredded leaves, mulch, and compost are a few examples of safe, inexpensive products. You only need a few inches of compost on top of your garden soil. Applying too much ground cover can be very harmful to the plants. It prevents water and air from penetrating the soil. In place of natural products, you could consider using ground covers made from plastic or recycled materials. Manmade products should be placed before planting your seeds and plants and will need to be removed at the end of the growing season. Chemicals can also be used to control weeds. If you choose to use chemicals, I highly advise that you read the directions carefully. Using chemicals can damage your crops and can add extra steps when harvesting. Be sure to note if there are special washing instructions after harvest.

Happy gardening #70

The Roving Sportsman… A Few Ideas for Father’s Day

By Jon Pries

On Sunday, June 18, Father’s Day will be upon us, and it is the one unique day annually that we can show our Dad, our Pop, our Father how special we really think he is. Fortunately, with a little over a week to go, there is plenty of time for shopping and planning to make this Father’s Day memorable for the Father in your life. If he is an outdoor enthusiast, there are so many gadgets and so much gear that are available, no matter what the specific sport or activity he enjoys.

For a Father or husband who is into shooting sports, be it a handgun, rifle, or shotgun, a trip to the local sporting goods store will allow you to pick out a huge array of items that will fit any pocketbook. A box or two of shells for his favorite firearm, some gun cleaning supplies, or the actual purchase of that latest gun that he has been wanting will make him happy.

If he is a hunter, then focus on whatever game he likes to pursue. For tur-

key hunters, there is a limitless supply of gear and gadgets to help him be successful on his next turkey outing. From box calls, slate calls, and mouth calls to special turkey loads for his favorite shotgun and even an upgrade of his camouflage outfit or turkey vest, there is a wide variety of items that will be appreciated. The same is true of those men who like to hunt pheasants, grouse, squirrels, deer, or bears – lots of “stuff ” available that is useful on their hunts.

If you are trying to make a fisherman happy, particularly a fly fisherman, you are really in luck. There is probably no other pursuit in the outdoors that has more gear and more gadgets available to up the game than fly fishing! Dry flies, wet flies, streamers, and nymphs, along with a multitude of fly lines, leaders, and equipment ranging from a few dollars to the-sky’s-the-limit, can be purchased at most nearby sporting goods stores.

If you want to give a gift that keeps on giving, consider signing Dad up to join an organization that supports one

of his favorite activities. The membership generally includes a monthly magazine, so he will be reminded month after month of your thoughtfulness. There is the NWTF (National Wild Turkey Federation), TU (Trout Unlimited), the RGS (Ruffed Grouse Society), or NRA (National Rifle Association), as well as many other great organizations that support any of his interests.

For those of you who are simply in a quandary as to what to get, there is always the go-to gift certificate. It works great if you want Dad to have the final say on what color, shape, or size of an item he might want, and any area sporting goods store will be happy to issue a certificate for Dad that will fit your budget.

But, in the end, there is ONE thing that you can give him that will impress him the most. Sure, shopping for a gadget or some gear, wrapping it nicely, and watching him open it on Sunday is nice, but it doesn’t come close to what I am about to suggest.

What is the most valuable item or “thing” that we have? That anyone has, really? Is it our expensive automobile or truck? Or is it our home? Actually, it is neither of those nor any possession you may have. It is your time. Time

is a finite quantity that once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. You cannot replace a minute of time like you can replace almost any possession you may have. So why not consider giving good old Dad some of your most valuable possession – your time?

How nice would it be to fix your Dad his favorite breakfast, then go on a hike together? Or, pack a lunch and go for a walk along his favorite fishing stream, sit for a while, and have some great deep conversations – talking about the things that are important to him, things you rarely take the time to discuss. Maybe even cook for him his favorite meal and do it over a grill or a wood fire, then spend time visiting and reminiscing about some of your favorite memories of times you have shared during hunting or fishing outings. Sharing your time would be the most appreciated and memorable thing you could do, and you both will reflect back on the quality time you shared on his special day.

Sure, gifts, gear, and gadgets are nice and will be appreciated, but spending time together and creating a wonderful memory together is really the best thing you could give a Father on Father’s Day.

Outdoors with Ken Hunter…

The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker

As an avid outdoorsman and a wildlife artist, I am obviously very interested in our surrounding wildlife, and I like to keep tabs on what’s happening in the wildlife community. Recently a story on the possible sightings of Ivory-billed woodpeckers caught my attention. Understand that Ivory-billed woodpeckers were never a part of Pennsylvania’s wildlife, but rather, they inhabited the extreme southeastern part of the United States. I use the past tense

term “inhabited” because the last universally accepted sighting was in Louisiana in 1944, and in 2021, the U.S. government declared the species to be extinct.

The Ivory-billed woodpecker was considered the largest woodpecker in the United States; it was about 20-21 inches in length and had a wingspan of 30 inches. As the name implies, it had an ivory-colored bill that flattened toward the tip. It was shiny black with white lines extending down from the checks. The male displayed a tri-

angular-shaped red crest at the back of the head, while the female had no red and was all black. Their diet consisted of large beetle larvae, vegetable matter, and fruit, like pecans, acorns, hickory nuts, and wild grapes. The elusive Ivory-billed woodpecker preferred the bottomland hardwood forests and was often found high up in the tops of trees. Due to heavy logging and unregulated hunting by collectors, it is believed the woodpecker was eventually wiped out. But now, getting back to what I mentioned at the beginning of this article, a recent story caught my eye. In summary, it’s been reported that in May of 2023, a team of researchers and nature enthusiasts presented images from drone videos, trail cameras, and audio recordings, suggesting that the

Ivory-billed woodpecker may still be in existence. All very interesting, but I should point out that not all of the scientific community is on board with what’s been presented.

It remains to be seen if the Ivory-billed woodpecker is still in existence, but in the meantime, we actually have a pretty large similar-looking woodpecker of our own right here in Pennsylvania, and it’s called the Pileated woodpecker. The Pileated woodpecker has sometimes been mistaken for the Ivory-billed woodpecker, but the Pileated woodpecker is smaller and about the size of a crow; it also has more white markings on the head and underside in the neck area. Considering its large size and its loud, noisy flight pattern, it is seldom spot-

ted by most people. In fact, if you talk to some people, they may well tell you they have never seen one.

One of the reasons you seldom spot a Pileated woodpecker is, like the Ivory-billed woodpecker, they too prefer the more heavily forested areas and tree tops, although, in recent years, they are showing up more and more in the suburbs and less forested areas. These woodpeckers are year around residents, and many of my own sightings have occurred while deer or turkey hunting in the big timber.

Keep your eyes open, and hopefully, you will get a look at our Pileated woodpecker; if you spot an Ivory-billed woodpecker, however, you will probably go down in history.

BASKETBALL CAMP

My lifetime association with Little League Baseball, which has encompassed playing, coaching, broadcasting, writing, and fourteen years as the organization’s Central Region Director, has provided a myriad of memories, some humorous, some stressful, and some very personally rewarding.

Next week Little League’s International Hall will be filled with volunteers and supporters as the pairings for this August’s World Series will be drawn. Soon thereafter, local tournament play will commence with the dream of reaching Lamade Stadium, even though remote, will be dancing in the minds of excited youngsters.

The thought of another World Series on the horizon brought back memories made in the early 2000s and the impact it had upon the life of Aaron Latchat, then a participant in Little League’s Challenger Division. Aaron was a young man who loved baseball but was confined to a wheelchair and was helped by the Children’s Development Center.

Moved by Aaron’s story, I contacted LLB president Steve Keener to explore the possibility of having the youngster meet Harold Reynolds.

Reynolds was one of the television

Scott Lowery

commentators covering the World Series for ESPN and had enjoyed an MLB career with the Seattle Mariners, Baltimore Orioles, and California Angels. While covering the World Series, Reynolds’s outgoing personality made him quite popular with the Little League players and fans. He was generous with his time and seemed to sign autographs for all those who asked.

Keener went through the proper protocol with ESPN, and Reynolds agreed to take part. I spoke with Reynolds to let him know what we wanted to do. Reynolds would meet Aaron in the dugout at Lamade Stadium, pose for some pictures and engage in some conversation. He would do MUCH MORE than that.

On the morning of the meeting, Reynolds was his usual congenial self. He willingly gave of his time, and the smile on Aaron’s face made it one of the very special moments he would never forget. Being confined to the wheelchair made his accessibility to certain areas difficult to achieve.

Standing on the field at home plate at Lamade Stadium, Reynolds pointed up to the television broadcast booth to show Aaron the location where he broadcast the games. Those who have been to Lamade Stadium are familiar with the elevated platform behind home plate. There is no

elevator to reach the booth. To get there, one must walk up the grandstand steps and enter a walkway leading to the booth. Reynolds asked Aaron, “Would you like to see it?” The smile on his face spoke affirmatively.

Asking the boy’s parents if it was alright, Reynolds lifted Aaron from his wheelchair and proceeded to carry him up the many steps to the broadcast location. If that didn’t bring tears to your eyes, you weren’t a human being. Once in the booth, Reynolds devoted time to putting the youngster in his chair, trying on his headset, and explaining the many accouterments involved in a baseball telecast. Once that special tour ended, Reynolds carried Aaron back down the steps to his wheelchair.

A year later, the Children’s Development Center asked if it could be possible for Aaron to meet Reynolds again. Reynolds agreed, also consenting to meet with other youngsters and their parents at a private reception. Unknown to Reynolds, Aaron had a special presentation to make, giving him a plaque, thanking him for his kindness, and containing an inscription calling him an MVP.

Reynolds was moved to tears. Composing himself, he then asked Aaron for ‘his’ autograph.

Now, two decades later, Aaron is employed by UPMC as a front desk information greeter and has been an inspiration to so many others.

Aaron’s story and Reynolds’s kindness are by-products of the tremendous work that

continues to be done by the magnificent mission of the Children’s Development Center in providing pediatric rehabilitation services for children from birth through age 21 in Central Pennsylvania.

About to celebrate their 100th year of service to the community, pediatric rehabilitation provides individualized speech, occupational, feeding, and physical therapy to maximize every child’s potential while promoting their highest possible level of function and independence.

Over the past two years, there’s been a 42% growth in the demand for these specialized services. Five hundred thirtysix children receive individualized therapy at the CDC, removing barriers to care like transportation and scheduling. Another 160-170 children a week from a 60-mile radius of Williamsport visit for outpatient clinic visits.

In conjunction with its 100th anniversary, the CDC is accepting donations to assist in the purchase of needed updated rehabilitation equipment. Those in a position to help may obtain further information by contacting Denise Lorson at the Children’s Development Center at 570-326-0565.

“Take me out to the ball game” is a familiar refrain heard during the seventh inning of Major League games. But Aaron Latchat’s two-decades-ago visit to Lamade Stadium stands as a lasting tribute to the work being done daily by the Children’s Development Center’s team of caring professionals who would welcome any help you can provide.

My full-time gig is with Susquehanna Marble and Granite. Yes. There is never a dull moment. I have been with the company for seven seasons. I am not the strongest guy, and these rocks are super heavy. I tend to break stuff, and my fellow work chums say I am a liability. I was banned from the shop and now work in the office. It is much safer for everyone. I answer phones.

We are truly blessed to work with so many great people. I enjoy most of our customers. We treat every top the same, regardless of size or material. You wouldn’t believe some of these projects. I am starting to dislike HGTV and Pinterest — insane houses. I can only imagine if Don was still president.

I told you before that I have a great relationship with a few Amish cabinet builders. I absolutely love our conversations. They are a true joy, and I have so many great experiences. My bearded friends and I have worked on many great projects. I try to get on the road

to spend some time in deep conversation. Big Jake, Levi, Sam, Jonas, Melvin, and Daniel Lee helped Big Spence and me hang the trusses. We talk about everything. Even politics. But mostly fishing. We are quite friendly.

Jamie Spencer

My guys think I am cool. I tend to spoil their children during Christmas. A few have already met my wife and Jensen. We recently took a trip to Howard just to hang with Jonas from Glick’s and his adorable family. It was fantastic. We drank tea and played with puppies. My son and I helped bale some hay, and we even got a crash course on mowing the lawn the Amish way. I have recently entertained the idea of joining their organization. I have some great material. My Amish friends and I seriously belong on television. I am still working on a few pilots. Netflix said no. But Hulu was interested. Now I just need to capture some footage. I am not allowed to record or take selfies. My bearded brothers have asked me to tag along. We will be floating on the Susquehanna River and camping overnight.

Teach has encouraged me to do it this year. I am going. Can I borrow a drone?

Yes. Fishing is a common passion. My bearded brothers and I compare notes quite often. Don’t let their looks fool you. These guys aren’t sitting around with cane poles. Some of my friends have nicer setups than I do. I always give my chums a few lures to try. I usually go with the Heddon Torpedoes. These are my go-to lures for catching bass. Sam has tried.

One of my buds is quite the character. Emmanuel King is a talented cabinet installer. He is from the new mold and is well-traveled. Emmanuel

is a young free spirit. He has been to Alaska and Arizona. My man enjoys snowboarding and long-distance biking. Emmanuel is one of the best runners in the area. I am not kidding. My little Amish buddy is outstanding.

Emmanuel is so dang modest. I asked him how he did when he was down in VA. He finally opened up after some digging. The 25-year-old King finished second in Massanutten Mountain 100. Yes. 100 miles. All in one day. Are you serious?

“We started at 5:00 a.m.,” Emmanuel explained. “I finished in 19 hours. It was totally dark.”

Emmanuel quickly realized that I was

asking more and more questions. He wanted to know if I was working on an article. We joked and laughed for the next few minutes. I was extremely curious about his garb. Barefoot? No.

I was wearing Solomans. Emmanuel filled me in on the preparation and timing. He had two of his friends there to help with the pit stops. I was amazed at how detailed this trip was. Emmanuel never saw the course, but he knew about every turn. He was strapped with an H2O pack and tons of gels — incredible stuff. My guy Emmanuel is a contender.

“I am a very competitive person,” Emmanuel concluded. “I love to run.

There is a lot that goes into my preparation. A group of us train year-round. I was very pleased with my finish. It was my first 100-mile race. It was tough. The terrain was rocky. Rough track with lots of changes. I was hurting Monday.”

My Amish friends are a true blessing. I am dead serious. They remind me to stay humble. Keep things simple. They are awe-inspiring and hard-working people. I love hearing more about their faiths and traditions. I also believe the feelings are mutual. Major props to my friend Emmanuel. 100 miles in the woods is insane. Congratulations. Cheers.
